Jason Hyung-gu Kang is an "all-round" photographer, covering portraits, landscapes, photo-essays, commercials and weddings. He is the sweepstakes winner of the 2010 and 2011 Georgia National Photography Contest in the professional photographer's division.
Jason obtained his Ph.D. in Materials Science from University of Oxford. Before moving to Georgia he was a senior scientist at CALTECH, California. As part of his research he was deeply engaged in scientific photography. Combined with his 24 years of training and experience in scientific photography with his artistic view he has been actively producing imprints in a unique perspective.
After moving to Georgia in 2006 Jason changed his career as a full-time professional photographer. Whether it's people, nature or object he senses a representative character and illustrates it in a poetic style.
Jason has been involved with the society through his photo-essays termed "public awareness" projects - homeless, drugs, refugees, adoption, etc. He has discovered not only the beauty in his environment but also the gloomy side of it. His mission is to find humility among the dark side of the society. His photographs serve as visual material to the public to raise awareness of the unfortunates in hope to make change by people joining hands together.
Jason is also passionate to share his knowledge and skills in photography through his Mentor Photography Workshop.
"Once you know how to take control of your camera all you need is your own perspective and philosophy to illustrate it. That's what make an image unique."
Jason is based in Duluth, Georgia.
